Brodmann area 39, or BA39, is part of the Parietal Cortex in the Human Brain . BA39 encompasses the Angular Gyrus , lying near to the junction of Temporal , Occipital and Parietal Lobe s. This area is also known as angular area 39 (H). It corresponds to the Angular Gyrus surrounding the caudal tip of the Superior Temporal Sulcus . Dorsally it is bounded approximately by the Intraparietal Sulcus . Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded rostrally by the Supramarginal Area 40 (H), dorsally and caudally by the Peristriate Area 19 , and ventrally by the Occipitotemporal Area 37 (H) (Brodmann-1909). Brodmann area 39 plays a role in semantic Aphasia . It was regarded by Alexander Luria as a part of the Temporo-parieto-occipital Area , which includes Brodmann Area 40 , Brodmann Area 19 , and Brodmann Area 37 . SEE ALSO |
